CV joint splines ??

[jaima]

I am going to replace my outer cv-boots/gaiters some time
this week, do I put copper grease on the CV joint splines after
cleaning them with a wire brush or is it a certain type of oil ??

Thanks very much guys

Use the grease that comes with the BMW CV Boot.
The BMW Boot is more expensive but lasts much longer than aftermarket boots.

BTW, re-use the C-clip that is in the factory axle!

Hi,
it`s the splines at the the end of the drive shaft, to make it
easier to slide back into place once the boot has been replaced.

Antiseize or regular grease is fine. It makes the next removal easier.
